You sure going places Louis. I like the your 'original coverage' of tech.

@Jeff, I'm sure we'll get some good A's posts with FanFest tomorrow and the season starting up... but it's a long cold dark winter. The TV writers' strike doesn't help either.

I have a very small, family and friend only blog, and I feel the same pressures.

Personally, I miss your sports posts and other non-tech posts (such as the one I remember you writing about an idea you had as alternative to college), and hope to see them sometimes. However, I realize the majority of your readers would rather read about web services. I like variety.

You've always said you write for you and that you're not aiming to make money from this blog. If that is true, you should write about what you want and not worry so much about your stats.

I share your pain Louis as I'm sure Steve does too, but we'll pull through :).

I just need to get better about updating TecHaiku...

krish steven and eldon,

Thanks for your positive comments, all.

@krish, I do try to be original and not follow TechMeme. Of course, sometimes that means I guess wrong, but risk is worth occasionally failing.

@steven, you know I unfairly and unequally like your posts. You are my "cranky old canuck" peer up North.

@eldon, there are so many flavors of writing, some public, some not so public. My background was in journalism/Mass Comm, but I ended up in the Valley doing tech. This is a great way to do both and enjoy it.

hey louis, welcome to the brave new world of writing!

i've been friendfeeding your posts here for awhile. all of the different services you've been promoting (friendfeed, readburner) are great new ways of finding, well, new blogs like yours. :)

personally, i don't think you should sweat blogging. just write about the stuff you care about and don't worry about volume of posts.

i wish i had the chance to more of that.

don't forget the good days like these you are having because they'll help carry you through any down days you might have.

Congratulations. You are a breath of fresh air in the "follow the meme" tech blogosphere. Please keep away from any aspirations to climb up the techmeme leaderboard and stick to original analysis than me too posts. Great work. Keep it up.
